When a tectonic plate in a subduction zone, goes underneath another tectonic plate, the magma in the Earth's core causes the plate to break up and melt. This melted rock becomes magma, and when it pushes through the Earth's crust to create a volcanic eruption, the magma cools and becomes rock. This rock is Metamorphic rock.

What rock is formed when mica is metamorphosed?
Mica is formed by chemicals combining their industrial forces with fresh water and turning into thin breakable sheet rock.
Which type of rock is formed when magma forces itself into surrounding undergound rock?
Igneous rock is formed when magma forces itself into surrounding underground rock and cools and solidifies. The surrounding rock is heated and metamorphosed but does not fully melt in this process.
A metamorphic rock made from limestone?
Marble is a metamorphic rock formed from limestone that has undergone intense heat and pressure deep within the Earth's crust. The process of metamorphism recrystallizes the original minerals in limestone to create the distinct crystalline structure and smooth texture of marble. Marble is valued for its beauty and is commonly used in architecture and sculpture.
What metamorphic rocks form sandstone?
The most common metamorphic rock associated with the regional, contact, or depth of burial metamorphosis of sandstone is quartzite.
What is the hardness of the Metamorphic rock?
Depends on which one. Diamond is a metamorphosed coal/carbon that is the hardest natural substance known. Marble is metamorphosed limestone that is much softer. It's safe to say that all metamorphosed rocks are harder than they were in their pre-metamorphosed form.
What rock is formed when limestone is metamorphosed?
Marble is formed when limestone is metamorphosed. This process occurs when the mineral calcite in limestone recrystallizes due to heat and pressure, resulting in a denser, harder rock with a crystalline structure.
What type of rock can only be formed from sedimentary rock or igneous rock?
Metamorphic rock can form from igneous and sedimentary rock. It can also form from previously metamorphosed rock into a higher grade metamorphic rock.
What rock is formed when mica is metamorphosed?
Mica is formed by chemicals combining their industrial forces with fresh water and turning into thin breakable sheet rock.
Which type of rock is formed when magma forces itself into surrounding undergound rock?
Igneous rock is formed when magma forces itself into surrounding underground rock and cools and solidifies. The surrounding rock is heated and metamorphosed but does not fully melt in this process.
What is metamorphic rock formed from sandstone called?
Sandstone can be metamorphosed into quartzite. Heat and pressure bake the sandstone and it becomes extremely hard.
What are 3 specific types of metamorphic rocks and what was their parent rock?
Slate--metamorphosed shale or mudstone.Phyllite--metamorphosed slate.Quartzite--metamorphosed sandstone.
Name one metamorphosed rock from a sedimentary rock?
Quartzite

Granite rock subject to stress it may be metamorphosed into a rock called?
gneiss
Is serpentine rock sedimentary or igneous?
Serpentine is a type of metamorphosed sedimentary rock.
